After Xie Jingxin attacked him instead of joining the fight against the Demon King, Zhang Yuan assessed her strength and prepared for a new battle.

• Zhang Yuan left Wei Jianxing and the others to sever White Tree City’s invisible tentacles and concealed his identity as he went to confront the Miasma-Ravaging Silent-Qi Demon King.
• Zhang Yuan struck the Demon King while he was speaking, took the Cloud-Brocade Mystic-Origin Iron, and concluded that his opponent was an incarnation rather than the Demon King’s true body.
• The Miasma-Ravaging Silent-Qi Demon King drew his sword, but Zhang Yuan evaded with spatial traversal and struck him again, then threatened to slaughter everything in sight unless the Demon King stopped him.
• Xie Jingxin attacked Zhang Yuan, blasting apart a street, because his threat to slaughter everything had given her reason to draw her sword.
• Zhang Yuan recognized Xie Jingxin and estimated that the Nether Annihilation Heaven Palace had suppressed her strength to roughly the same level as the Demon King’s incarnation.

Zhang Yuan faced Xie Jingxin and the Azure-Robed Daoist above White Tree City, where the Nether Annihilation Heaven Palace prevented them from using outwardly manifested spells. After Xie Jingxin and the Daoist formed a temporary alliance against him, Zhang Yuan found a suitable sword and met Xie Jingxin in combat, ending with a sudden surge in strength that sent her flying.

• Zhang Yuan activated [Beholding Demons] and used its malice to strengthen his Dharma Body beyond [Malice Growth]'s usual limit.
• Xie Jingxin charged Zhang Yuan, and he blocked her attacks before sending her flying twice with basic sword strikes and [Golden Carriage Luan Chariot].

• The sword clashes sent destructive aftershocks through White Tree City, prompting residents and cultivators to flee toward the White Residence.
• Zhang Yuan repeatedly sent the blue-robed Daoist and Xie Jingxin flying, but Xie Jingxin adapted to his techniques as his sword arm grew numb.

• After tens of thousands of exchanges, the azure-robed Daoist decided he could not defeat Zhang Yuan, while Xie Jingxin wanted to resume fighting.
• Zhang Yuan released the three calamities from the [Three Calamities Gourd], clearing the miasma around himself and proving to the azure-robed Daoist that he possessed Demon King-level power.
• Zhang Yuan announced that he would annihilate half the ghost deities in the [Nether Annihilation Heaven Palace] and hurled the three calamity pellets toward its projection.

• Zhang Yuan covertly used the [Three Calamities Gourd] to steal exposed Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures from the palace.
• A grand voice from deep within the palace scattered the three calamities and accused Zhang Yuan of going too far.

After the Nether Annihilation Heaven Palace withdrew, Zhang Yuan considered its possible connection to the Nether Bureau and escaped before Xie Jingxin could resume their fight. Xie Jingxin was left in White Tree City with Princess Zhao Lian as the battle ended.

• The Miasma-Ravaging Silent-Qi Demon King withdrew his gaze and the Nether Annihilation Heaven Palace vanished, ending its connection to White Tree City and causing Zhang Yuan's celestial power to fade.

• Zhang Yuan checked the treasures he had collected and considered how they might help him recover a supreme-grade earth spirit root.
• Xie Jingxin prepared to fight Zhang Yuan, but he raised the Three Calamities Gourd and disappeared without a trace before she could attack.
• Xie Jingxin searched for Zhang Yuan, then acknowledged Princess Zhao Lian, who came out from behind the White Residence gates after asking whether the Demon Kings had left.

• Zhao Lian apologized to Xie Jingxin because the Seventh Sun-Eroding Demon King's sword had been her replica of Xie Jingxin's sword.

• Chi Guanguan emerged from Zhang Yuan's Sea of Consciousness, mistook him for the one who had wrecked the city, and announced that she had figured out how to command the Thunder Pearl's lightning.

• Wu Qing noticed the two-handed longsword on Zhang Yuan’s back, and Zhang Yuan said he had picked it up on the way back.

After the battle in White Tree City, Zhang Yuan and his companions sought shelter at the White Residence, where he spent ten quiet days cultivating. Having reached the late stage of the outer dao golden core, he prepared to begin cultivating the qi sea uniting spirit dao as well.

• Zhang Yuan kept the plain two-handed sword he had taken during the battle, and Wu Qing advised him to sell it for a one-handed sword.

• After reaching the late stage of the outer dao golden core, Zhang Yuan agreed to begin cultivating the qi sea uniting spirit dao that night.
• Chi Guanguan said she had already arranged a suitable qi sea uniting spirit dao cultivation technique for Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuan learned why he could not cultivate the Azure Vault Vast Sea Art, then went with Wei Liu to meet the returned Third Princess and Sword Saint. His arrival at the White Residence drew their attention when they recognized the Steel Sword he carried as Zhao Lian’s lost sword.

• Chi Guanguan told Zhang Yuan that the Azure Vault Vast Sea Art required sea qi unavailable in the Crimson Firmament Roselight Realm and said she would recommend a cultivation technique that night.

• Zhang Yuan entered the hall with the Steel Sword, prompting Zhao Lian and Xie Jingxin to watch him as they recognized Zhao Lian’s lost sword.

Xie Jingxin attacked Zhang Yuan at Zhao Lian’s gathering but stopped her sword short, prompting Zhang Yuan to demand an explanation from the Bright Dawn Kingdom. After Zhao Chen challenged him, Zhang Yuan struck him down with heavenly lightning and threatened to summon Great Heng’s Ascension Realm cultivators unless the kingdom answered within twenty-four hours.

• Zhang Yuan gave Zhao Lian twenty-four hours to respond and left with a plate of pastries, leaving the others uncertain whether his claims were true.

After Zhang Yuan crippled Zhao Chen, Zhao Lian and Xie Jingxin questioned whether he was the Seventh Sun-Eroding Demon King, while Zhang Yuan revealed that he had staged the encounter to test and manipulate Zhao Lian. He left the White Residence confident that his claimed friendship with Tan Chengcheng would strengthen his public identity and deter further trouble.

• Wei Jianxing disclaimed responsibility for Zhao Chen's injury, and Wei Liu left the hall pleased that Zhao Chen had been dealt with.
• Zhao Lian ordered a eunuch to carry Zhao Chen away and keep him confined until she gave permission for him to leave.
• Zhao Lian asked Xie Jingxin whether Zhang Yuan was the Demon King, and Xie Jingxin said his perceived strength was very weak but admitted she was uncertain.
• Zhao Lian decided to investigate whether Zhang Yuan's identity was genuine after recalling his twelve-hour ultimatum.
• Zhang Yuan reflected that he had used Xie Jingxin's attack to test Zhao Lian and had claimed friendship with Tan Chengcheng to reinforce his public standing.

Zhang Yuan reassured Bai Fu that he did not intend to destroy the Bright Dawn Kingdom and asked her to search the White Residence’s books for information about the Six Heavens Demon King Palace. Chi Guanguan revealed that Bai Fu had once been a male descendant of the Hengyang Lu Clan, then gave Zhang Yuan a cultivation technique for the Qi Sea Uniting Spirit Dao.

• Bai Fu asked Zhang Yuan to spare White Tree City if he destroyed the Bright Dawn Kingdom, and he said his threat to the Third Princess had only been meant to scare her.
• Zhang Yuan asked Bai Fu to look through the White Residence’s books for information about the Six Heavens Demon King Palace.
• Chi Guanguan explained that Bai Fu had karmic ties to Hengyang Land, and Zhang Yuan said she had been expelled from the Hengyang Lu Clan and recast in a woman’s body.
• Chi Guanguan asked whether Bai Fu slept with Zhang Yuan, and he denied having any interest in her.
• Chi Guanguan condensed her magical power into a book titled the Misty Sea Layered Tower Heaven-Splitting Scripture and handed it to Zhang Yuan.
